Episode 41: Cheesy Music & Guilty Pleasures
Hi this week we plug our noses and take a nice long stroll through the cheese aisle. I reveal some of my guilty pleasures and toss around some half-baked theories about a few important topics:
why do people make cheesy music?
what does cheesy mean anyway?
why does cheesy music hit the spot so often?
do Peter Gabriel and Bono feel things more passionately than regular people do?
are the emotions I feel when I watch Jerry Maguire real?
why does Kate Beckinsale appear every time you hear Nick Drake in a movie?
What’s cheesy to one person is not necessarily cheesy to another and I’m sure some of my hot takes this week will be hard for some to swallow. And for that I apologize.
But please remember that I love all of the songs I play on this episode, even if I find many of them to be cheesy.
Like every kind of music, I love cheesy music.
It completes me.
